Since we’re still on the subject of the PH domain pricing, I thought a poll from our readers here is in order. Andre left a good point in the comments. As a PH reseller, I once contemplated on heavily investing in the domains and sell it the sub-Php1,000 range. So our poll question is, how much should the PH domain cost that will convince you to buy?
I limited the choices from Php600 to Php1,200. If the results are reasonable, I might get some investors and push this thru.
The premise is that, dotPH pricing will remain the same at $35. However, other service providers or PH domain resellers can buy in huge bulk (in the thousands) and possibly offer it in retail at a much lower price. If consumers can be convinced to move and get a PH domain at a sound price-point, then lowering the retail price is possible (but obviously not at the .com levels).
Cast your ballots in our poll section.
i’m actually planning to get my own dot com or dot ph domain. I’m voting for 400php – $10- 600php.. the cheaper the better and it will encourage pinoy blogspot users to finally get their own domains.
i am willing to pay for $70 for .ph domains. why? my domain name is my personal brand. why invest in a cheap domain if the domain would sounds like brugodoytongstogodongstoy.com?! there’s are still good names available in .coms….but there’s more..i mean more in .ph domains…its just a matter of personal preferences.
I agree with marvin. $35/year for a .ph is actually cheap considering the weakening dollar and the availability of “good” domains. Making it cheaper will just ruin its brand. If you want a cheap domain say $10 or less then simply go for the usual .com or .net (good luck finding available good names). A .ph domain is like a vanity plate, reserved only for the individual with a discerning taste.
Hi,

dot com now can be purchased for $9, while dot ph is around $35. Dot ph is very much expensive, i think Joel should reduce the prices if we want to compete, i love to use the dot ph domain but considering the cost.

most people will remember .com domain rather than .ph.
we are offering dotPH at P,1300/year. Cheaper than dotPH.
It should cost P1,100 per year.

Thanks for posting this info. If you’re putting up a business in the Philippines it is much better to use a .com.ph but if you’re starter you can also use a .com site.
By the way I have created also some article regarding .edu.ph domain. If your interested you might check this link that I have created.

The answer is simple 5-10$, if i were the gov, i would give it for free to anyone with a none ad site.
For the same reason as the sari-sari 10millions of licenses you need is the sole reason for zero advancement in the Philippines.
China did the change long ago, it’s simple… in a world were we are slave of the state(income tax), until the state got is s**t together, they better of letting the slave feed themselves.
